same function in NT

[DenisF]

Hallo, I ask you if in NT there is a function similar to the one below: Syntax

security(x, y, z, a) → seriesReturns

Returns another series.
Arguments

x stringSymbol (for example "tickerid", "msft" or other financial instrument...like as close[0] or input[0] in NT...I think). "Ticherid" is a bulti-in variable, type string, with Symbol name with exchange prefix (e.g. "BATS:MSFT" or "NASDAQ:MSFT).
y stringResolution (time frame...for example "300" minute, "240" minute, "D" daily")
z seriesExpression to calculate and return from the security call. (calculate the function output result with instrument data chosen in the chart )
a boolMerge strategy for the requested data. Requested data is merged with the current barset data. Default value is false, data is merged continiously (without gaps). If true then data will be merged possibly with gaps.Examples

a = security ("tickerid", "240", sma(close, 10))
// plot simple average 10 period on close every 240 minutes with data chart

s = security("MSFT", "D", sma(close, 10)) // every 1 Dayplot(s)s1 = security("AAPL", "240", hlc3)
// every 240 Minutes plot (s1)

Thank you in advance for answer.

Hello DenisF,

I'm not able to recognize what this function would do.

Are you attempting to call an arbitrary amount data for an instrument and supply this as an instrument as a input series?

There would not be a supported way of accomplishing this with NinjaTrader 7. You can add a secondary series before the script starts and use the data of this secondary series, but not after the script has started by using the Add() method and supplying the series for that bars in progress.

BarsInProgress - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG.../barsarray.htm
Closes - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nt7/closes.htm

With NinjaTrader 8, it is possible to do a BarsRequest to request an arbitrary amount of data for any instrument to a bars object.
